9-daagse kleine groep volledig geaccommodeerde 4WD-tour door Cape York vanuit Cairns

We were after a personalised, fully catered for and accommodated small group tour of the Cape and on paper this Discovery Tour promised much. We flew to Horn Island, TI and enjoyed both on the first day of our trip after having met Darryl our driver and guide. All seemed good at first but I was a bit putt off by the condition of the Troopy which was only just adequate roomwise for six people plus driver. A safety belt that wouldn't retract was jury rigged with cable ties! Comfort as we found out later was compromised by air bags needing to be replaced in Cairns on our return so we rattled and bounced over hundreds of kilometres of corrugated dirt roads between destinations. Two days into the trip we found out that Discovery Tours had been sold and Darryl was not happy! His attitude noticeably changed and we were never sure which Darryl we would have on any particular day. We didn't want to compromise the trip so no one complained, pointless anyway. It got to the stage where we couldn't wait until the journey was over and for an experience that we paid roughly 7.5k each is more than disappointing. On getting back home I emailed Discovery and got no response which prompted me to post this. Please contact me if you want to know more details.

The trip was amazing. Our guide Darryl was well educated on the places we went, the indigenous people, flora & fauna and the Explorers who discovered and trecked through the top end of Australia. We expected the visit to Cape York to be the highlight, but there were too many to mention. We had never met the Four other travellers in the group, but we all got on amazingly well together and will stay in touch with each other. Thanks Darryl for making our trip informative & fun.

My sister in law, husband and myself have just had the most sensational trip of a lifetime. Everyday was so different but extremely interesting with beautiful scenery and great 4wd tracks. Our accommodation along the way certainly wasn’t 5 star, ( understandable being outback Australia) but it was always clean, comfortable and safe. Laurence our guide was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure (when he could) to show us anything extra along the journey. Often going off the beaten track to find amazing little creeks, waterfalls, wild brumbys, flowers or anything a bit different. The food was outstanding and most of the time you got to choose what you wanted to eat and how much. Everything was so fresh and you certainly never went hungry. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to travel to the top of Australia. Amazing, well worth the money and an experience we certainly will never forget. Thankyou Discovery Tours and Laurence.

Absolutely fabulous tour . Flew up and drove down the Cape. Laurence our driver and guide was awesome. 3 couples , newly acquainted traveling in a Toyota 7 seater Land Cruiser loved every place and experience. Food fabulous and very plentiful, accommodation varied from basic to luxury but all clean and comfortable. I can thoroughly recommend this tour as a unique way to visit “the Tip” for anyone who wants a genuine outback experience. Thanks for a most memorable 9 days .

The hole experience was fabulous. Darryl our tour guide was exceptional. His knowledge and personality elevated the experience. Accommodation whilst basic at times. But was always clean and air-conditioned. The meal proportion were extravagant. Never finished a meal. Prawns ,oysters, mains, and deserts were delightful. Thanks again big fella.

The tour started with our guide Laurence (just call me Loz) picking us up from the motel. He made us feel like we were old friends meeting up for an adventure and the days just flew by. The knowledge and passion shown by Loz for a part of our country I never knew was informative and eye opening. Every day had me waking up early in anticipation of what wonderful sights the new day would display. Loz was always willing to assist with any issue, nothing was a bother. I had really high expectations for this holiday and I was not disappointed. If you want to see what the top end has to offer without the hassle of driving and planning, book this trip of a lifetime.

We just completed the 9 day tour to Cape York with Darryl as our guide. My husband and I had the most amazing time. We loved every minute of this tour. Darryl was the best guide. His knowledge was second to none. The best was definitely saved for last when we reached the tip of Australia. It is a holiday we will never forget. Such good memories forever. Thanks Darryl from Geoff and Lisa Wells

Thank you very much to Discovery Tours, and in particular to our 2 guides Darryl and Laurence for a wonderful experience. We were well looked after by our guides and their knowledge and understanding of aboriginal culture and bush foods and plants was very welcome. We travelled over a few rough roads, but that was part of the experience. Accomodation was varied, but we were out bush and there aren’t too many 5 star hotel/motels out there. We travelled in 2 Toyota Landcruisers with 6 guests plus guide in each. This whole experience was an eye opener, mainly thanks to Darryl and Laurence. Do yourself a favour and jump online and book your tour. The highlight was getting a photo at the Tip and ticking that off my bucket list.

8 days 7 nights Cairns to the Cape Trip We wanted a more personal family oriented trip with the usual highlights, but with more indigenous orientation history and culture. Day 1 Darryl arrived with a smile and instantly made us and kids feel welcome and at ease. Every day he made suggestions for photo opportunities and gave us information on the European and Indigenous history of the area we were visiting. Stopping to give the children a toilet or r&r break was never an issue for Darryl. He even remembered their comfort before we asked. As the days went on we knew we were in the hands of the right person and had chosen to travel with the right company. You always want value for money on any holiday and Discovery Tours certainly provided that. An added bonus of having Darryl share his culture and roguish sense of fun with us made it an experience to remember. The youngest to the oldest (8 to 74) all enjoyed our time with Darryl. The kids hugged him goodbye like an uncle at the end of the trip. His laid back nature with the children made the trip easier for the adults to relax and enjoy the trip. If I had to criticise, a minor criticism would be we would have liked more time for the kids to swim in the awesome waterfalls. However that was a minor blip on an overall fantastic trip. We are already looking at another trip with Discovery but only if it’s with Darryl Thanks Chris, Darryl and the Discovery Tours company. Loris, Rich Jo, Sam & Emma
